Pierre Roy sits in the centre of the value range, lending the palette a sense of even, sustained light. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. The absence of saturated colour is itself an expressive choice: this is a palette of restraint and atmosphere. Only 8.3% is devoted to #8C5D3C, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. The palette spans 43 value units: a measured range that delivers coherence over drama. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is the light Pierre Roy preferred, made measurable.
